History
Pine Tree, Texas was first settled in the mid-1840s. The school was operating in the community in the 1850s. Growth was slow but stable, with agriculture being the primary source of income through the turn of the century. By the early 1940s, Pine Tree was an election precinct and a school district. After World War II, Pine Tree became part of Longview.
